Hi fellow Networkers

I wonder if anyone has a solution to the following problem.  Now and then 
I need to scan in more than one tape that has passed its browse and/or 
retention period.  Have searched the net without finding any usable tool 
or method to do this.

I have also tried to create bat-files to do this but haven't been able to 
pass the letter q plus CR which the scanner program asks for after 
scanning.  My batch routines are as follows:

1. Batchfile "jb_scan.bat"
for /l %%C in (1,1,10) do scan.bat %%C

2. Batchfile "scan.bat"
nsrjb -l -n -f \\.\Tape0 -S %1
scanner -i -q \\.\Tape0 < q_parse.dat
nsrjb -u -f \\.\Tape0

3. Parsing file "q_parse.dat"
# The only entry is the "q" plus CR

I will appreciate if someone can give me a tip about how I can parse the 
input to scanner or alternatively give me another method to scan multiple 
tapes automatically.


Thanks in advance
